Sick 'n Tired of Being Sick 'n Tired
All this started around the 15th of June and I'm still VERY sick. It just seems like I'll never get well.
Now I have Intracranial hypertension or Pseudotumor Cerebri
as well as Papilledema
Pseudotumor Cerebri Symptoms
The common symptoms are headache, dizziness and impaired vision.Headache is often worse on awakening, and can be intensified by coughing, laughing, bending over, crying, and increased physical activity.Impaired vision shows up in several ways. It can be visual blurring, brief moments of dimming or loss of vision called transient visual obscurations (TVO's), small specks appearing or vision distortions (items moving up or down).Blindness can occur.
Other symptoms affecting PTC patients include: shoulder/arm pain, neck pain, memory problems, awkward coordination, muscle weakness, fatigue, back pain, and depression.Possible symptoms include dizziness, hearing loss, ringing in the ears or noises within the head called tinnitus.
Regarding headaches: a study showed 92% of patients interviewed had headaches; 93% of those with headaches said it was the most severe headache they had ever experienced. The head pain was described as a pulsing headache that kept increasing in intensity. Another description was a "pressure" headache, resembling a percolator. Seventy four percent of those with headaches had it on a daily basis. Can also experience neck stiffness or nausea.
I'm trying to keep working but it's tough with all this and it seems like the summer will be gone by the time I get back to getting out with my camera.
OK.... Enough whining for one day.
